Excerpt from The Development of the Upper Sacramento River: An Appendix to the Summary Report to the Legislature of 1927 on the Water Resources of California and a Coordinated Plan for Their Development The Sacramento River, upstream from the mouth of the Feather, is the most important of all streams tributary to the Great Central Valley of California. With square miles of mountain and foothill drainage area, it produces a mean seasonal run-ofi of acre feet, one-half of the run-off from the entire Sacramento drainage area and one-third of all the waters of the Great Central Valley. The bulk of. The waters surplus to the future needs of the Sacramento Valley lies in this stream. Large reservoir capacity will be required to equalize its flow in order that this surplus may become available for use. Therefore, a major project to develop the surplus waters of the Sacra mento Valley is contingent upon the feasibility of constructing storage works of large capacity on the main Sacramento River.
